Final OBGYN Baby Appointment

I had my 41 week appointment this afternoon to have all my "overdue"/pre-inducement tests done.  In the ultrasound BG weighed in at a whopping 8 lb 11oz.  This weight is give or take 1 lb...and I am guessing it is more "give", so it looks like I have having a 9lb baby.  I cried.  Seriously, I cried.  My amniotic fluid levels were great. 

 

Then I did a "stress test". This was to measure the stress (heart rate and movements) of BG.  The doctor said he knew I was already stressed so it was not to test me.  haha. VERY TRUE!  The test lasted 20 minutes and BG failed.  She was not moving and her heart-rate was too low.  So, the nurse called in the doctor and the doctor manually moved the baby around trying to get her to wake-up some (not a very comfortable thing!).  BG still didn't move.  The doctor asked me what I had eaten for lunch, and embarrassingly so, my reply was "a Swiss Cake Roll and a Nutrigrain Bar" (I didn't think it mattered what you ate in your 41st week of pregnancy).  So, they made me drink Coke and then monitor BG for a little while longer.  Still no good movements, so I went back to the sonographer to have another ultrasound.  In the second ultrasound BG finally moved enough to be deemed "fine".  So..... three and a half hours later I left the doctor's office with my papers to be induced on Monday morning at 7am.

 

Thus far, BG has NOT cooperated at all in this pregnancy!....and I am NOT looking forward to labor with her because of her stubbornness thus far.  However, she does have one very redeeming quality that makes me forgive her for the rest:  SHE HAS LOTS OF HAIR!!!  The sonographer even gave us a picture of her hair from the ultrasound to take home :)
